Connect Coffee Gigiri
Ranked in Best Cafes & Bakeries in Nairobi
About
Two different bean blends (rare in Nairobi) and the best blended coffee in the city, with waffles that hit and staff who genuinely look after you. The space is small and a bit industrial with outdoor seating, perfect for sunny coffee dates or quiet work sessions — just confirm the menu's stocked before you go since availability can be spotty.

One of the best coffee spots in Nairobi. They offer two different bean blends. It's super rare to find blended coffee in Nairobi, and this one's the best for customers' taste.

A great place to grab a really really good cup of coffee. The guys working there were SO nice, and looked after us. The only constraint is the site, which is small and a bit industrial, but actually was perfect for me and a colleague to meet and work a bit over coffee. Would definitely go again when in the area.

Another experience at the latest Connect Coffee Roasters joint in Gigiri. Had the opportunity to be invited for free coffee was very honored. It's a small place with an outdoor sitting very convenient for nice sunny coffee dates considering it's setting outside with not too many people. The experience was great as usual great coffee and latte great biting I loved the snacks they served as I did the first time. The only thing I'd request they improve on is availability of everything on their menu I wanted to order the ham and cheese basket and the chicken leek just to try out something different but they unfortunately didn't have them at their bakery so I had to order the same things I ordered the last time I was at their branch in 14 Riverside. All in all Connect Coffee is always a great place to be at.
